ABSTRACT The emphasis of this report is laid mainly on the obtained results regarding tube bulging. This process is relatively new and promising in achieving big deformation of tubular specimens at almost no change in the wall thickness. If the reader would like to know some more of the process itself I also recommend other books and articles, some of them are written in the literature list at the end. In the report I am presenting the results I achieved in the time, I was staying at the Technical University Eindhoven and working with the machine for tube bulging. Some of the tube bulging processes use polyurethane but this one uses oil under pressure up to 400 bar. Steel 35 tubular specimens with outer diameter 60 mm and wall thickness of 2,5 mm were used to test the machine. Tests should have followed a certain model, for we tried to reach a straight strain path.

PREFACE

A Siovenian in the Netherlands? Two professors of mechanical engineering, Prof. Kals from the Netherlands and Prof. Kuzman from Slovenia agreed on exchanging a student each year, that would stay in other country for a period of three months to learn something more about the culture, habits, university, what are they dealing with at the university, and finally to make some research in a specific field. In the year 1995 I was chosen to be an exchange student. I went to the Netherlands for the first time and now, when I am writing my report, I can say I liked being here. People are friendly, especially here at the university. The university has the formal name Technical Universiteit Eindhoven and· is one of three technical universities here in the Netherlands. It has several faculties, one of them, of course, the Mechanical Engineering FaCUlty. The Mechanical Engineering Faculty is divided into three parts: fundamentals, construction and technology and automation. The latter is further divided into subdepartments and Prof. Kals is in charge of Materials and Processing department. That means I was working at this department. There are many researches going on at the time. I was appointed to work with two other students: Ronnie Kanen and Maurice van Beek, both dealing with the problem of hydroforming.

1. HYDROFORMING

What exactly is hydroforming? It is a method where a hydrostatic pressure is used alone ore accompanied with other means to act upon a workpiece. Hydrostatic pressure has a nice characteristic; it always acts perpendicular to surface. So an idea is to use hydrostatic pressure in metal forming process together with one more force. If we would be able to reach a state, where during the process two stresses with different sign would act on a workpiece, this would enable us to reach higher deformation, since we would be operating in the second or fourth quadrant of the flow limit ellipse.

1.1 TUBE-BULGING

The process I was working on is called tube-bulging with internal pressure. In the Technical University in Eindhoven there is a machine, that may be used as a test machine for making experiments with tube­bulging. As a specimen, a thin-walled cylindrical tube is used. If a tube is thin-walled assumption can be made, that a plane stress state is present. The idea is to fill a tube with oil, seal it, apply axial force on both ends of the tube and simultaneously regulate the pressure of the oil inside the tube. So a condition would be achieved, where a tube would tend to shorten and to expand. It is desired to reach a strain path where the ratio between both major strains, axial and circumferential would be -1. This carries one benefit; the wall thickness remains constant.

1.2 THE GOAL OF THE RESEARCH

The goal of research going on in this field is to determine if it is possible to achieve a constant wall thickness and what is the extent of the deformation, that can be achieved. A model has to be determined that is able to predict forces, strains, stresses at bulge forming processes of workpieces with relatively thin walls would with sufficient accuracy. But to be able to determine something about the process, a proper equipment has to be available. So during my staying here I was dealing with ~he machine, performing some experiments with it to see, what happens. The machine had to be tested since it is just a prototype and never used before. As it is pointed out later, that fact was causing us a lot of trouble. We tried to do experiments according to a model, that would ensure us a straight strain path. We have done several experiments testing the behaviour of both, the machine and the specimen. At the end we have concluded that a better control over the machine is of paramount importance if we want to get some truly valuable results.

2. THE SYSTEM

A detailed specification of the machine and system is given at the Ronnie Kanen's diploma thesis. Herewith I would like to point out some negative points which represent an obstacle in thorough investigation of a model that was used for determining strain path, i.e. for determining pressure and axial force at each respective step.

2.1 HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

At the process pressure and force are controlled by a PC 386-40 computer. The data acquisition card is a PCL-818 card. At the beginning of the process the values for pressure and force, as obtained from the model, are put into a computer. Then the pressure is applied to the machine and a computer program for control over the system is started. That program is written in a Pascal programming language and is a very simple one. As soon as the program is started it sends a first pair of values p-F to the system. Sent value for p determines the amount of pressure inside a specimen and it is achieved very quickly. Sent value for a force is, on the other hand, much slower. This is especially notable when higher pressures together with higher forces are required. When both values are reached (currently there is a 95 % threshold for force implemented in the program) the program sends the next combination of pressure-force. After the program has sent a value it starts to listen to the respond of the system. It reads combinations of values for p-F until both of them are equal to the sent pair and then it sends the next pair of values. This job is repeated until the last pair of p-F values is sent and the corresponding values of the system are received. Both, the sent and received values are written in a file and thus available for further investigation of what was happening at that specific process.

2.2 FLUCTUATIONS OF THE DATA

However, this system is still in a starting phase and as that it is not immune to some child diseases. If the program is tested just with some voltage applied directly to a lab card and that voltage is constant, the data written in a file shows a considerably high amount of fluctuation. This fluctuation increases as the voltage increases, a higher voltage gives higher, fluctuations. In a real process this may cause premature start of a next step or premature stop of a system, as it may happen that due to fluctuations the program gets the required values eventhough in reality they are not yet achieved. What can cause such fluctuations? Undoubtedly there are two possible reasons and most likely both of them are responsible for that. The first reason is hardware. The fluctuations can be generated in any element of the measuring chain. Not only thermal instability itself is to blame for it. There are also other things which we don't know thoroughly.

I Tadej Campa 5 WPA-TUEI

Page 8: Report on experiments with tube-bulging machine · PDF fileReport on experiments with tube-bulging machine ... Report on experiments with tube-bulging machine. (TU ... dealing with

The second reason is the system itself. It may happen that hydraulic pressure in the system varies in a short period for a significant value due to changes in a position of valves that control an oil flow.

2.3 SUDDEN JUMP

Sudden jump is an instance where one value is constant for longer period of time and then all of a sudden it jumps to a required level causing the program to start with the next step. We don't know yet whether this only represents a true state of that value or there is something wrong with reading the data. In the former case it is the system who is responsible for not implementing the sent values fast enough. In this case it would happen that only after longer time the system would start implementing new values. On the other hand it might really take that much time to achieve those values, but if that was true, then values in a file wouldn't be constant but slowly increasing. If the latter is what's really going on, then there may be something wrong with the frequency of reading the values, maybe the computer reads to slow out of a lab card or a lab card gets values to slow from the process. It can be a sampling frequency responsible for that or the program doesn't read values as fast as it should.

2.4 SERIES OF CONSTANT VALUES

If a file, where pairs of received values for pressure and force are written, is looked upon carefully it may be seen that in most cases the neighbouring values don't differ from one another but are the same and then they change a bit and again remain the same. This goes on through the whole file. What is the cause of this is also not clear. I suppose the system is not to blame for that since it is a real system and that means it is capable of giving an infinite number of different values. What might be responsible for that is again a speed in comparison with a speed of the program. Those two speeds might not be consistent. Or there is some cache memory where the lab card puts its readings and since the program is to slow in reading that data it reads only part of it and after that all the data in the cache memory is replaced with new data event~ough the program didn't manage to read everything. Another responsible factor for this phenomenon might be the sensors. One may say that the sensors may posses a certain threshold when reading data, but they are also real system and therefore they capable of giving quite an amount of different values. But whatever causes this phenomenon is to my mind not as important as the effect of sudden jump which is more crucial for control over the process, since greater values are concerned.

2.5 DISAGREEMENT AMONG SENT DATA AND RECEIVED DATA

As mentioned above the program sends pairs of values for pressure and force to actuators that implement those values. Then the really achieved values are read and sent back to the lab card and to the program. But if someone expects the values are identical or almost identical the one is wrong. The values for force show quite good correspondence with those sent, whereas the values for pressure very much differs from those supposed to be. That is a fact that may significantly influence the whole model and can therefore transform a model being currently used to something completely different. What is responsible for that? The answer seems to be hidden in a lack of feedback loop in this particular system. Therefore if we want to achieve a better control over the process itself a feedback loop with a summation point should be implemented thus giving us the power of better control because the difference between desired and current value would act on a system until the difference would be zero, what would mean the reached value equals the desired one. At the moment there is no feedback loop in the system.

2.6 DIFFERENT SPEED RATE AT CHANGING PRESSURE AND FORCE

When the program sends a pair of values to be reached usually the inside pressure is reached first and the force is always last. The only exceptions may occur due to fluctuations or sudden jump effect. This fact is present because cylinders that generate axial force are bulky thus needing a lot of oil and time to move and to reach the required force, whereas a volume inside a specimen is not that big thus giving the possibility of quicker reactions. In order to reach the required axial force, a lot of oil has to flow to a big axial cylinder what takes a lot more time than the time, necessary to put just a little extra oil to the inside of the tube. This is only one aspect. The other one may be hidden in happenings in the material of the specimen during the process itself. If one take a look at the record with the received values it can see that in some cases it took a lot of time before force reached the desired value. And before this has happened the force varied several times, it varied even downwards. That may point out that something is happening at the material of the specimen. Due ~o a pressure applied the tube is expanding. As the tube is expanding its length is also decreasing therefore both axial cylinders have to get more oil in order to follow the movement of the tube. That is why they can't develop enough force to reach the desired value for force fast enough. Namely, they have to compensate the downward movement of the specimen. Then after some time an equilibrium takes place between the stress caused by the internal pressure and hardening of the material. At that point pressure no longer causes the expansion of the tube and force can now act to a specimen thus establishing the desired ratio alpha, Factor n therewith caused that pressure lost a paramount importance in the process at that moment and axial force took its place. Now the material is forced to flow from both ends of the specimen into

I Tadej Campa 7 WPA-TUEI

Page 10: Report on experiments with tube-bulging machine · PDF fileReport on experiments with tube-bulging machine ... Report on experiments with tube-bulging machine. (TU ... dealing with

the central and most expanded section providing that way enough thickness to withstand further expansion.

2.7 BURSTING

However a bursting may easily occur as we experienced in our experiments. This may happen out of the following reasons. Firstly, there may be simply to thin wall to withstand the pressure. That may happen because the pressure was to high in comparison with force so the latter couldn't compensate the lost in wall thickness and the tube wall simply fractured. Secondly, a bursting may occur due to end of ductility. That means the maximum extent for deformation had been reached and the material is no longer capable of any further deformation. Because the process still continues, the material fractures at the spot where deformation is highest.

2.8 RESET AFTER EACH SET OF MEASURED VALUES

In order to get appropriate received data it is necessary to reset a computer before starting a new set of observation. This exists due to a fact that computer or a lab card still carries readings of a previous measurement and sends them to a program first. So the program now gets old values from the previous experiment instead of those new ones. This may seriously spoil the measurements, since it can easily happen that at the beginning there are some enormously high values, causing the program to speed up.

3. THE MODEL

The model represents our way in performing experiments. Programmed values for experiments were calculated according to the model. The model we used, was a very simple one, for that was the first model and with it we made our first experiments. We wanted to test the machine and to see what happens at the process therefore we didn't devote to much time to develop a complex model that would take in account all factors. Usually the developing path of the model leads from simple one to those more complex. At developing the model Levy-von Mises' equations were used. Eventhough the geometry throughout the process changes from cylindrical to almost spherical in our calculations we assumed the form of the tube will always be cylindrical. That enables us to use formulas that are valid at axissymetrical states of expansion in order to simplify the calculations of the model. Basic formulas used in determining the model are:

If equation 2 is inserted in equation 5 and a small workout is done, a new equation is got:

cr = cr. ~( 1 - a + a 2 )

eq. 13

If equation 1 is put into equations 3 and for and then those two are divided a new factor y, representing the strain ratio is acquired. This factor is called the strain path. It depends on factor a, as the following equation depicts:

eq. 14

Out of equations 3,4,10 and 14 we can derive an equation for the wall thickness strain:

E3 = - 28cr crq> [1 + a]

If in equation 7 all the 8 values are substituted with their respective natural values and an expression is simplified, a new equation that links equivalent strain with stress ratio and deformation of diameter is made:

Finally, the axial force, that has to be applied to a specimen equals:

eq.21

Din equals 55 mm in our experiment. This is a diameter at both, upper and lower end, where a die of the machine is in contact with the specimen thus providing sealing and axial force.

All those equations were put into an Excel spreadsheet where the values for p and F were obtained for each value of D at specific Ct..

3.1 DIFFERENT RESULTS AS EXPECTED

Model represented above is an ideal one and we tried to use it. However in reality, pressure given by the machine is always higher than programmed. So, eventhough the values for pressure didn't correspond to those the model predicted, we got good results and quite good expansions. Why? First of all, in the model for all experiments we made one mistake, that later proved as a counterbalance for that surplus of the system's pressure. Namely, instead of taking Din for the diameter, where sealing is necessary, the largest diameter at that moment was taken into account. So, the sealing force was increasing exponentially and was dependent on both variables, p and D, eventhough according to the above model it should depend only upon pressure p. But as I mentioned earlier, this in fact helped us to get good results. In reality the pressure differed from the programmed pressure exponentially also. That meant a higher sealing force and also a higher axial force were necessary. Both of those requirements were successfully compensated by the mistake we made by taking D instead of Din into equation 21. To make this story clearer let me tell you that in our experiments usually just values that permitted the extension up to 65,5 mm were programmed. Well, in all the instances the highest diameter was well above that figure. In one case it was as high as 91,5 mm!

3.2 CORRECTING THE SEALING FORCE

The sealing force has to be recalculated and the model has to be changed in the way that for calculating the sealing force the Djn is used. That reduces the sealing force necessary. This would recalculation shows, that a greater share of the acting axial force is used to participate in holding

the ratio a. higher. Experiments 14 and 15 have taken this in account while calculating the real a..

Important! At first experiments specimens were not annealed so there was an undetermined rate of predeformation present. Therefore it was not possible to get exact data on mechanical properties. However, in later experiments annealing has been carried out at 6900

• for one hour with subsequent cooling in the furnace to room temperature. In that case it was possible to determine material properties:

Rm = 350 to 450 N/mm2 E = 210000 N/mm2 RpO•2 = 240 N/mm2 strain at failure = 25 %

NOTE: In all those cases a is given as it is supposed to be according to the model.

3.5 DETERMINING REAL a

Those experiments were all carried out according to a model, that used a constant value for a. But note, that that value is not constant during the experiment! For determining the real a, that is valid during the test, an on-line measurement of the diameter is necessary. In experiments 14 and 15 we have done measurements of the diameter according to time. Time is related to force and pressure applied on a specimen. If the program reads values at intervals of 500 ms, it should be possible to chart a diameter vs. force-pressure relationship. We used a diameter gauge fixed to the machine that measured diameter. After the pressure was applied to the system, readings were written down every 5 seconds. Then readings were compared with the force and pressure received at that time interval. So a certain relationship was established. The results for a, calculated out the measurements using iteration, were surprisingly low. They are near O! That implies, that axial force should be significantly increased. But here we are limited with another boundary -the buckling limit.

3.6 EXACTNESS OF REAL a

The method used was very primitive one. The tip diameter gauge was pointed at the centre of the specimen in order to measure the deformation at a place where the deformation rate is highest. But since only the upper die is moving and the lower is almost standing still, the tip of the gauge is not measuring the change of the diameter in the same point. That is one contribution to uncertainty of the acquired diameter change.

fig.1

Other thing is the way of making readings. How reliable is a reading made from a distance and with a certain angle? There is namely a plexi plate between a reader and a diameter gauge. Also the readings cannot be made exactly at the time period of 5 seconds. Last, but not least, there is a computer program. It is true that it is programmed to read values at every half a second. But what is that time interval in reality? And are those read values correct? I mentioned earlier, that also the received values, computer gets, are not completely certain. Because of importance of assigning each measured diameter to appropriate pressure and force, those measurement, we got, could be tricky. Nevertheless, we used them just to get a feeling of what is happening at the process. To improve accuracy, an on-line measurement with strain gauges should be implemented. In that case, a computer could be used to record readings from a strain gauge. Strain gauges should be fixed around a perimeter in different directions and tied up in Wheatstone's bridges.

3.7 WALL THICKNESS

The majority of the experiments were carried out under the same settings, that is values for force and pressure were programmed according to the model where a was -0,2. My comment will assume that settings unless stated different. The results show the extent of the deformation, that is achieved at the programmed value for a. It can be seen that the largest natural strain is as high as E=0,42. The form of a deformed tube tends to be eliptoidical, almost spherical. In one case the with the usual programmed values for a = -0,2 the deformed specimen was cut and a wall thickness has been measured. The average wall thickness at the most expanded rim is 1,9mm. Then it slowly increases to the end where it is as high as 2, 47 mm (that means no change here regarding to the starting diameter).

In experiment 11 a bursting occurred eventhough the settings were according to model a=-0,2. That shows the process is not stable and the control over the system parameters is poor. Plastic deformation is limited by: • necking which is a phenomenom due to an instability condition in

tension when uniform plastic flow ceases and becomes localised resulting in local thinning of the workpiece

• buckling which is associated with a transition phenomenon between elastic and plastic stress states • fracture which is a separation process Those are the reasons that in certain cases an experiment ends in a non desired way-with one of the above characteristics.

4. THE CONCLUSION

In this process a relationship of ex. = -1,0 is pursued. That means that 0'."

equals 0'9 and also 6", is equal to 6",. hence thickness strain 63 = O. By that way we assure that wall thickness stays constant. Because of thin walls an assumption is made that 0'3 = O. According to the Keeler-Goodwin diagram, in the case of ex. = -1,0, large equivalent strains could be achieved before material fractures. But this depends also on a rate of predeformation. That is why we mostly used annealed tubes to get rid of all the effects that predeformation causes. The machine itself was constantly causing difficulties. It took a lot of time and preparation to carry out an experiment. Also the number of tubes was limited and because some demonstration were held, it wasn't possible to do more experiments with different ex. to see, what happens. That's why I had to work with the data I have obtained. I think it is necessary to do the following changes and improvements on the machine: • feedback loops must be implemented in order to achieve accurate

parameter values and a good response of the system • on-line measurement of the diameter must be implemented, preferably by strain gauges so that a computer can store electric signals they send and process it; the other possibility is with a normal diameter gauge, just as we did at the end. At that case a person has to read values during the operation of the machine. • number of cables must be rationalised in order to prevent misconnection and the possibility of a bad contact • movement of the upper and lower plunger must be measured in order to know the displacement • the program has to display all the parameters on screen With the current state of the equipment, no reliable results can be obtained. So the machine needs improvements!

But is it possible to achieve a strain path, where a = -1,0 in a free bulge forming process? It is necessary to perform more experiments with higher a just to see what happens. As far as we know, even at much lower ratio for a a specimen buckles. We did only one experiment where ratio a was -0,4 instead of -0,2. In that case buckling occurred. But to my view, one experiment is not enough to say with reasonable sureness what would happen at that ratio. So in the future the limits of the process are still interesting field for research. Also finite element method may be used here to see, how the material acts under strains present in the process. This method would also give more precise answers to what is happening with the specimen in the respective phases, while it is undergoing the process. The research, done here in Eindhoven, is dealing with tube-bulging in the open die. This enables us to actually see, what is going on during the process. The other possibility is using a closed die, where expansion can be much bigger, but then monitoring of the process is not possible. And someone has to study how the tube reacts, when there is no constraints, in order to get better knowledge of the process. Despite the difficulties, I can say that we managed to reach the deformations as big as 50 %. The pressure inside the tube reached a value of 325 bar at axial force 105000 N and programmed a was -0,2. The tubes, that were deformed most, posses a maximum diameter of 92mm. This is very close to the upper limit of expansion without an interstage annealing. The process of tube-bulging is not very old. Regardless, some automobile factories use it in production of differential casings. However, they use closed die geometry. Products, made by this process can be used further in automobile industry. Production of cam shafts is a possible field, where it might be implemented. The cam shafts could be hollow. If this would be the case, then tube-bulging is a good process to do it. However, it has to be checked, if the hollow cam shaft can stand all the stresses and loads.

5. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

1. APPENDIX

Here are presented some of the experiments accompanied with values and diagrams. Also the model is presented according to which pressure and force were used in controlling the process and a recommended set of values that should enable to perform a successful demonstration.

1.1 THE MODEL

In this model the ratio between an axial stress and circumferential stress was 0.=-0,2. According to that ratio and material properties, other values were calculated, A ratio 0.=-0,2 was a common setting during our experiments, because in most cases this ratio assured us the nice result will occur. The model is presented on pages 1 and 2. Most of the experiments were carried out at programmed ratio of 0.=-0,2. At calculating the model, I was using basic equations, as shown at the report.

1.2 PROGRAMMING THE VALUES

When doing an experiment, first a certain a had to be chosen. Then values, as the model returned for that particular a, are put into the computer. However in programming pressure and force we used only first 11 values from the model. Then some pairs of values were programmed, where values for pressure and force were decreasing just to assure, the oil will not leak out of the plunger. That is why a common table with programmed values includes also decreasing values what makes 15 steps. A table which was the most used, is given below. It will in most cases guarantee nice demonstartions, where deformations of around 50 % are reached.

1.3 EXPERIMENT 15

This experiment was performed according to the model. However, what was really happening, is not very close to the model. This model is special because a primitive on-line diameter measurements were made with a diameter gauge, mounted inside the working space of the machine. That enabled us to know what is the diameter at a certain combination of force and pressure, and thus we were able to calculate all the necessary parameters for determining the real ex. during the process. On pages from 3 to 9, a set of values is given, where it can be seen, what were the real pressure and force at the system. The page 12 clearly depicts, that real ex. is very close to zero. A sudden increase in the value ex. at the end is present due to a way the system ends the process and can be disregarded. The proof for inaccuracy of the system is clearly visible on a page 10 where both pressures, the desired one and the real one, are compared. The way the system makes changes in the values for pressure and axial force is presented on a page 11. The x-axis can also represent time.

1.4 EXPERIMENT 14C

This experiment was also performed with an on-line diameter measurement. All the data, containing the readings from the system and on-line diameter measurements with some values, calculated afterwards,

is shown on pages 13 to 16. The real ratio between axial and circumferential stress that was calculated also here gives the result close to zero, as the graph on page 19 shows. Page 17 shows the surplus of the real pressure in the system and page 18 shows, how the parameters of the system, pressure and force, are distributed according to steps (time).

1.5 EXPERIMENT 12

Thi experiment was one of the few, where the ratio ex. was a bit lower. In this experiment ex. was -0,15. However, at this ex. the specimen underwent a failure. A crack appeared on the surface, causing an explosion. The form of the crack may show that this fracture occurred due to the end of ductility. At this experiment and all the rest with the lower number mentioned in this appendix, no on-line measurement of the diameter of the expanding tube were made, so no data representing pressure and force in table form is given. It is presented only in schematic way. Page 20 shows, the programmed values and the values reached. It can be seen, that the pressure when burting occurred, was 323 bar. A mark N points out that the step 11 was never reached, since the fracture took place earlier.

1.6 EXPERIMENTS 11 AND 10

Those two experiment both gave nice results. Both experiments, as well as all the previously described (except the one, that bursted). reached all the programmed values and ended because all the values in the computer program were reached. The parameters of the processes are shown in appropriate charts.

1.7 EXPERIMENTS 9 AND 8

The two experiments, described here, were similar to all the above described ones, just that here, the process was prematurely stopped. At this phase we still didn't allow the process the time, necessary to reach the en,d of the program, but we interrupted it.

1.8 EXPERIMENT 6

The parameters of this experiment are presented on pages 30 and 31. This one also ruptured. The form of the crack, that appeared, shows the possibility, that in this case the wall thickness wasn't able to stand the inside pressure.
